Released in 1922, the same yr as Ulysses and The Misuse Land, Jacob's Room is Virginia Woolf's own modernist manifesto. Ostensibly a study of a young man's life on the eve of the Great War, it is very a bomb thrown into the world of the traditional novel, as she endeavors to capture the richness and randomness of life's encounters. Jacob Flanders is only point of contact between a masses of people, showing and disappearing in a tableau where all is flux, without certainty and with out a controlling viewpoint. Nonetheless it seems that the author cannot maintain this thorough impersonality, and the radical strategy reduces, so that people finally see Jacob as a person, equally as his world is blown apart.
